PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student focussed on methane fluxes from forests and their impact on the global atmosphere
This project will aim to improve understanding of the methane (CH4) carbon budget through a combination of new measurement and modelling work. CH4 is emitted from a variety of sources and processes, balanced by chemical destruction in the troposphere, stratosphere, and through processes controlled by soil and plant microbes (lifetime of ~10 years). Although anthropogenic emissions have been a clear driver of the rising atmospheric concentration, changes in the rate of atmospheric growth are not understood, which ultimately hampers predictions on future scenarios of this potent greenhouse gas and its impact on climate over the next decades and century.
The global sinks responsible for methane’s destruction are particularly hard to quantify, whether due to poor understanding of the tropospheric reactive radical distribution and variation, or the undersampling of terrestrial microbial sinks leading to large uncertainties when scaled up globally. This PhD project aims to improve our understanding of CH4’s sinks through creation of new observations including measurements of isotope ratios, analysis of existing datasets, and interpretation through atmospheric modelling. Global scale models of atmospheric methane will be set up to simulate methane and its isotope ratios for comparison against observatons available from the last years and decades. Field studies focusing on biosheric sinks and their ability to fractionate isotopes of methane will be undertaken with an aim to improve understanding of their influence on the global methane budget. Field measurement campaigns will be developed alongside the modelling work, in partularly to understand the role of forests in removing atmospheric methane. The student will be directly involved in the implementation and maintenance of greenhouse gas measurements and carry out their own studies at experimental sites.
The main duties of doctoral students are to devote themselves to their research studies which includes participating in research projects and third cycle courses. The work duties can also include teaching and other departmental duties, but no more than 20%.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in Energy Sciences with a focus on hydrogen combustion engines
Hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines are an important component of the green transition and are seen as one of the primary options for sustainable transport alongside electrification.
This project focuses on hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines, which have the potential to combine energy efficiency and climate neutrality with zero CO2 emissions. In addition to reducing the future heavy demand for batteries in the transport sector, these engines could become particularly important for achieving climate goals in long-distance, heavy-duty transport, which is difficult to electrify.
The project’s aim is to investigate flow and mixing phenomena in spark-ignited, direct-injected hydrogen engines and their impact on ignition and combustion processes. The mixing process of air and hydrogen is fundamental to achieving high efficiency without the occurrence of knocking. The research will be conducted using available heavy duty research engines, enabling traditional engine testing as well as in-depth analysis of combustion processes inside the cylinder through high-speed imaging and other optical techniques. Additional tools, such as flow simulations (CFD), will also be utilized.
The project involves another doctoral student at Chalmers University of Technology and is carried out in close collaboration between Lund University, Chalmers University of Technology, and industry partners: AB Volvo, Scania, Aurobay, and SEM.

About Lund University, Scania, Sweden – Official Website
Lund University is a prestigious university in Sweden and one of northern Europe’s oldest universities. The university is located in the city of Lund in the province of Scania, Sweden. It traces its roots back to 1425, when a Franciscan studium generale was founded in Lund. After Sweden won Scania from Denmark in the 1658 Treaty of Roskilde, the university was officially founded in 1666 on the location of the old studium generale next to Lund Cathedral.
Lund University has nine faculties, with additional campuses in the cities of Malmö and Helsingborg, with 40,000 students in 270 different programmes and 1,300 freestanding courses. The university has some 600 partner universities in nearly 70 countries and it belongs to the League of European Research Universities as well as the global Universitas 21 network. Lund University is consistently ranked among the world’s top 100 universities.
Two major facilities for materials research are in Lund University: MAX IV, a synchrotron radiation laboratory – inaugurated in June 2016, and European Spallation Source (ESS), a new European facility that will provide up to 100 times brighter neutron beams than existing facilities today, to be opened in 2023.
The university centers on the Lundagård park adjacent to the Lund Cathedral, with various departments spread in different locations in town, but mostly concentrated in a belt stretching north from the park connecting to the university hospital area and continuing out to the northeastern periphery of the town, where one finds the large campus of the Faculty of Engineering.
